This Japan autumn leaves calendar puts 36 of the country’s best koyo<\/em> (\u7d05\u8449) spots in the order they peak in 2026, with both of Japan’s big forecasts side by side. Autumn colour doesn’t arrive on one date. It runs downhill and south for three months: the Alps and Tohoku in October, Nikko at the end of the month, Kyoto, Nara and Hakone in late November, and central Tokyo’s gardens in the first week of December. Miss your spot by ten days and you get bare branches or green ones. Think of this page as a Japan fall foliage forecast and an autumn leaves calendar in one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every spot below was checked against tenki.jp’s second forecast<\/a> (14 October 2026), Weathernews<\/a> (second forecast, 8 October, and live spot pages), Walkerplus<\/a>, JNTO<\/a> and each temple, park or tourism association’s own site. Where the two forecasters disagree, we show both, because a single date would claim a precision nobody has. Night light-ups, prices and booking rules are 2026 figures. Last checked 16 October 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
